Data

A core aim of Finances of the Nation is to assemble data on the public finances and public policies of governments in Canada, consistent and comparable across jurisdictions and over time. Each dataset comes with an interactive explorer, and all are free to download and reuse under a Creative Commons Attribution licence, with Finances of the Nation cited as the source.

To use it, choose a tile to open a dataset or simulator, or a topic heading to open that topic's page. The filters narrow the list by topic and type.

Finances of the Nation's data projects rely on contributions from individual researchers, including Livio Di Matteo, Luc Godbout, Ken McKenzie, Kevin Milligan, Michael Smart and Trevor Tombe. If you have a dataset you would like to contribute, contact admin@financesofthenation.ca.
